You want stinky hot in the Summer? Visit Hot-lanta.
I take it you are talking about Atlanta, GA. How is it hotter there
than
in Jax, which is further south, toward the equator?
Coastal cities are cooler because of the effect of the water. Atlanta,
DC and Orlando all have the same problem. Heat, lots of concrete to
hold it in and high humidity without much to buffer it.
Coastal waters absorb heat during the height of the summer and release
it during the water. It's rarely as cold in our neighborhood as it is,
say, in Fairfax County, Virginia, because the Bay gives up its heat in
the winter. That's also the principle behind heat pumps with
underground water/anti-freeze circulation pipes. Atlanta and Orlando
are two of the most miserable, heat and humidity wise, cities I've
ever been in in the height of the summer. Actually, I never like being
in Atlanta.
During the water? WTF, Harry?
